Nissin Japan launches new speedlite

Nissin Japan Co. showcased the i60A—a speedlite—at the CP+2016. This new offering features a wireless radio control system called NAS (Nissin Air System). This speedlite can oversee three groups of flashes in its role as a commander. It can also be controlled through a different Nissin flash unit packed with the NAS system or the company's Air 1 commander unit.

The speedlite features a maximum guide number of 60m in the compact body enabling various ways of lighting even with the use of modifiers. Manual control in this speedlite allows 1/3-stop increments from full power to 1/2 5 6th. Auto exposure compensation is available up to +/-2EV. It can cover a focal length from 24-200mm.

The i60A's head rotates 180° and tilts upwards. The unit is powered by 4AA cells that reportedly provide 220 full power bursts or through an external battery pack. The Nissin i60 Awill be available for Nikon and Canon mounts in May 2016. The availability for Micro Four Thirds, Sony and Fujifilm mounts is yet to be disclosed along with their pricing details.

Nissin Japan also stated that it will start offering Di700A and Airl commander system for Micro Four Thirds cameras and Fujifilm's interchangeable lens cameras this autumn. The system for Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras is available.
